- Thirty Years of HIV/AIDS: A Personal Journey
-
- - Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., Director, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (2011/06/02)
- - Category : Special
- Please join us for a special lecture to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the first reported cases of what is now known as AIDS, a disease that has claimed the lives of at least 30 million people worldwide.
In his talk, Dr. Fauci will discuss the bleak early years of AIDS when none of his patients survived; the growing understanding that AIDS was not only affecting white gay men, but people of all ages, races, genders, and sexual orientations; the breakthrough discovery of HIV as the cause of AIDS; the development of lifesaving antiretroviral medications; work with gay activist groups, Congress, and White House administrations throughout the epidemic; progress and continued research to find new ways to prevent HIV infection and, ultimately, a cure; and the many remaining challenges.

- Background: To achieve healthcare reforms goals of improved healthcare quality and efficiency, it is important to understand the impact treatments and services have on patient outcomes. Yet, we have only begun to develop valid and reliable measures for these purposes. In the area of Alzheimer？？？s Disease, there are a number of notable examples of measurement-development work underway:
Patient-reported outcomes (PRO,

- Towards bridging the genotype-phenotype gap -- systems level dissection of the impact of variation in DNA sequence and structure on gene expression
-
- - Teresa Przytycka, Ph.D., NCBI/NLM/NIH (2011/05/26)
- - Category : NIH Directors Seminars
- Directors Seminar Series
The research in Teresa Przytycka？？？s group focuses on computational modeling and analysis of properties of biomolecules on sequence, structure, and network levels. She is particularly interested in modeling of dynamical changes in such properties, exploring how variations in sequence, structure, and cellular context impact gene expression, gene function, the topology of the biomolecular network, and the phenotype of the organism. Using systems biology approaches, her group also strives to understand the emergence of complex disease phenotypes, such as cancer, to identify molecular pathways dys-regulated in diseases, and to develop computational methods for detecting causal genetic mutations

- Nucleus accumbens hedonic hot spot: A new strategy for unraveling its neural circuitry
-
- - Larry W. Swanson, Ph.D, University of Southern California (2011/05/26)
- - Category : Neuroscience
- Neuroscience Seminar Series
The Swanson lab is interested in the organization of neural networks that control motivated behavior in mammals. Specifically, research in Swanson？？？s lab has examined hypothalamic organization, has clarified the organization and neurotransmitter specificity of brainstem reflex inputs to the hypothalamus, and has addressing cerebral hemisphere inputs to the hypothalamus that mediate the voluntary control of motivated behaviors common to all animals (ingestive, reproductive, and defensive). More recently, Swansons group has characterized functionally relevant changes in gene expression patterns in the brain. The approach is mostly structural, and to display and model results he is developing computer graphics and database approaches.

Dr.Owen is the Director of the Neuroscience and Mental Health Research Institute. His main interest is in the genetics of major psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. He is closely involved in research programmes on schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, Alzheimer？？？s disease, ADHD and depression, and in the relationship between 22q11 deletions and psychosis. His most recent research activities have focused on the translation of genetic findings into benefit for patients though research on disease mechanisms, classification and diagnosis as well as in public engagement and communication.
He is the current Head of the Department of Psychological Medicine and Neurology in the School of Medicine and Deputy Head of the School of Medicine. As Head of the Department of Psychological Medicine and Neurology he oversaw the department becoming the UKs best in the latest Research Assessment Exercise. He is also the Director of the Medical Research Council？？？s Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics. His work uses a combination of molecular genetic approaches including genome-wide association, copy number variant analysis and second generation sequencing to identify the specific genetic variants that confer risk to psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. He is increasingly interested in the impact of genetic discoveries on the understanding of disease mechanisms and classification.

This free, one-day event will take place at the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland. Distinguished guest speakers from across the country will present lectures on a variety of symptom-related topics. Attendees will gain a foundation in symptom mechanisms, measurement, and management, particularly those associated with chronic illnesses such as cancer and sickle cell disease.
The conference is part of the NINR？？？s series of anniversary events commemorating the Institute？？？s first 25 years at NIH and the contributions of nursing science to solving some of America？？？s most important health challenges.
The speakers in this course will include nationally and internationally known symptom scientists from various institutions including the NIH and universities across the United States. The conference is jointly sponsored by NINR and the NIH-CC. Portions of this event have been made possible by the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health, with generous support by Pfizer Inc.
